Come on Tim Apple. Do it. You know it’s the right thing to do

Actually, with Google recently losing in court where Apple had previously won because Google was exempting some developers from its App Store rules; Apple might be actually inclined to actually enforce its rules in X’s case lest they suffer the same fate

Tim Apple is like the only positive thing that came out of Trump's mouth/presidency, except for

very legal, very cool

perfect phone calls

gushing about chocolate cake while bombing Iraq Syria

big, red button for Diet Coke room service in White House

Former President Drink Bleach was a source of many quips or words, good words for those reading along at a 4th grade level...

Look, he's got a couple pithy keepers, I'm secure enough in my political orientation to admit that. I always joke about perfect phone calls now lol

Edit: also, thuh BEST/most POWERFUL wordz

He did restore faith that George W Bush decision to finish reading a children’s book when the planes were crashing into the trade centre was the best choice.

Idk man.

Trump was easily the most comedically entertaining president. Like, not in a good way. Like, cofveve or whatever wtf?

I'll present you with Shane Gillis doing a bit

K I still need someone to sit down with me and explain the whole "Covfefe" thing

Edit: in homeopathic sized doses, he is objectively hilarious and tolerable. But his word salads make me wanna needa self-cannabinalize

It was a tweet. He tweeted this absolute nonsense and everyone was like "wtf is he on drugs?"

That's it.

But like has anyone tried to explain or postulate what was meant specifically by covfefe, like what was the context?

Edit:

covfefe = coverage

He probably just fat-fingered his phone with a half-written tweet open. If he'd just followed that up with "...coverage I'm actually the awesomest president ever blah blah blah" nobody would've noticed.

But instead it turned into this whole thing about how the tweet was meaningful and people were just too dumb to get it. Which just made him look ridiculous as usual.

Yes. Many people have tried to explain it. Parts of the qult are claiming that it's a cure for the covid vaccine, (Co)Cobalt, (V)Vanadium, and two (Fe) iron.

Nah, its simple and I literally just explained it (as evinced by [the context of] his tweet)

That's what actually happened, yes. That doesn't mean that many people who worship him have not tried to find an explanation that means it was completely intentional, and I think it's worth knowing about how far people will go in his defence, even when it requires them to twist themselves into pretzels to defend something that would have been completely fine if he had just laughed it off.

I will never understand. Like how does anyone seriously politicize something that random and banal

Trump is a narcissist, he is incapable of admitting any flaw or fault, be it in an accidentally sent typo tweet, or letting the experts address a public health issue rather than pushing himself to the forefront and suggesting putting sterilizing lights into the body.

He actually did in his ShoppingChannel commercial today, the one with the Trump trading cards or whatever.

He referred to all the muscles the "artists" gave him that he definitely doesn't have IRL.

I was like "Holy Shit, did he just like self-deprecate for the first time in his life?!". I almost fell off my dinosaur!

Yeah, I caught that in a video from a content creator I watch. Not sure what to make of it, still thinking about it. Actual personal growth would be pretty surprising from the guy who kneecapped the pandemic response because he was worried he'd smear his makeup.

I mean it was midnight. So, I think he was trying to say something about despite a day of bad press coverage, coffee? Has allowed him to...

Fall asleep face first on his keyboard?

Idk.

He was on episodes of WWE wrestling, im pretty sure he just spelled "kayfabe" wrong

Bush Jr's asinine ramblings were funnier IMO. "Now watch this drive" lives in my head rent free.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

bit

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

I'm pretty sure he was referring to "kayfabe" and didn't quite get it right

Covfefe has been a pretty fun word, as well as referring to "Mooch" as a unit of time.

Very stable brain

the stable-est

Like where voluminous bullshit and horseshit are generated on the daily. I'd say even when he's constipated he always REGULAR lol😎

While you may be right, it’s more likely to be the optics of being associated to this… person that will be the deciding factor.

LOL Apple doesn't give a single shit about "the right thing to do", all they care about is money, and Apple is happy to not whack that hornet's nest that's actively stuffing their pockets, meanwhile they can continue to (rightfully) blame Twitter for what happens on Twitter.

Google was exempting some developers from its App Store rules

Apple doesn't give exemptions, it's just a carte blanche ban
